UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited Greenland on March 26 and 27, to get an up-close look at the consequences of climate change.

Ban spent time in the town of Uummannaq, a municipality of 1,200 people, north of the Arctic Circle. He also went to luissat, where he saw the luissat ice fjord, which has been designated a World Heritage site by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
